Make A Craft {31 Days: Day 22}

{alternate title: Look! It’s Day 22 and I’m just now mentioning a craft!}

free craft ideas

I like doing crafts with my kids. I love scrolling through Pinterest and my favorite blogs for new craft ideas for the kids. When I was a little girl, I wanted to do every single thing in my Childcraft Make and Do book. I can’t sew or knit, but I still love being creative with paper and glue!

What makes crafts so good for teaching kids about the Bible is that you are engaging another of the five senses. You’ve probably heard statistics and research on how kids learn by doing and feeling and experiencing instead of just listening and filling in the blanks. It’s why kindergarten classrooms have interactive stations for kids instead of 8 hours of worksheets at a desk. It’s why Montessori type schools are so popular. Kids learn when they DO.

If kids can hear, see, taste, smell and touch they are more apt to remember and to internalize what they are learning. Art teachers recognize a simple art project can teach patterns, colors and more. We can use this same idea for our own kids when teaching them God’s Word. We can help cement God’s Word in a child’s heart and mind simply by engaging more of their senses!

I’m not talking about making a baby Jesus craft with macaroni (although, that might be fun!) or gluing a clip art Moses to a paper plate. I’m talking about incorporating what your kids already love to do—make messes with art supplies and using it to teach a lesson!  Here are some of our favorite crafts–not because they are especially adorable crafts but because they have a good message and my kids still remember it!

    I had those childcraft books! I loved them so much I bought them for my daughter off ebay! (& not the new revised versions, the old rainbow set I had as a kid) She adores them, too!
